I understand, I just feel one must really be going through a lot for one to voluntarily apply for this kinda job knowing fully well that the boy might use their predicament chase clout and make condescending contents.

It's unfortunate Sha.

GRV spoke about the flooding issues in Lagos and what he planned to do. Bad decisions and poor planning over the last few decades in Lagos are to blame. Another flooding event is taking over Lagos now… pic.twitter.com/z4Vwr6Tp5Z

.......1996 Letter. Ignore the typos like Tax Force and Minister of States, this letter indeed was issued in 1996.

afrodoc2:
I don't think that is Chimamanda. There are at least 3 bullets in that post (2 in the 2nd paragraph and 1 in the 3rd paragraph). She is an award-winning writer with master's degrees from both Johns Hopkins and Yale.

Those that know her username/handle can confirm (or go and verify).

I am not a Lagosian, I have never claimed to be one. I am from Oyo

Lagosians like every host have a right to choose who come to their land and who is acceptable to them, They accepted foreigners like Yay, Igbokwe, Akabueze and they have rejected others

Just like America and any place pick the foreigners they want and those they don't especially those who disrespect their traditions cultures and insist their land is No man's land

raumdeuter:
Lagosians are telling you to respect them in their homeland yet you are insisting on not listening to them

I am a foreigner in America and when you see an American telling me to respect them let us know

And not you acting as a spokesman for them, I believe Americans can speak for themselves

raumdeuter:
Point to us the American wey complain give you. Has any american complained to you? Why are you crying more than the bereaved American

Why will the ask to respect your host become so much of a pain point to you?

raumdeuter:
have the hosts come to complain to you? When they come to complain to you let us know.

Edo people told Ighodalo that he is not fit to be governor because he cannot speak the language, The Other candidate Akpata had to wax an album to prove his Edo bonafides

But na only Lagos concern you

TemporaryHansel:
See how you’re dancing in circles.
You’re shouting “why only Lagos” as if Lagos is a spiritual realm exempt from logic. The moment Lagos is mentioned, tribalists like you start vibrating like it’s a personal attack. Lagos is Nigeria’s commercial capital, not your ancestral shrine, so yes, we will talk about it more because its relevance is national, not village-level like some places you’re trying to compare it to.

You brought up Bianca like that’s your trump card. Oga, Bianca was opposed by a fringe group, not the state apparatus. She contested anyway because Anambra doesn’t have a legal structure blocking her. Lagos, on the other hand, has seen politicians actively push policies and campaigns built on “deport them,” “vote for our own,” and “you must be son of the soil to belong.” You know the difference, stop pretending.

And don’t act brand new, non-indigenes win elections in multiple states across Nigeria. An Edo man was once elected chairman in Delta. Hausa people hold local posts in parts of the South. Even in Enugu, a Yoruba man contested and nobody burned the state. But Lagos? You lot act like the Oba’s crown is your birthright and the rest of Nigeria should just wash plates.

You say “immigration is a privilege” yet you’re in a foreign land enjoying rights you won’t give fellow Nigerians at home. You celebrate Nigerians being elected abroad, but foam at the mouth when another Nigerian runs in Lagos. Hypocrisy is doing jumping jacks in your argument.
Let’s be clear: what’s painful is not Lagos, it’s the double standard. The fact that you want openness, inclusion, and fair opportunity when you’re the minority in America, but when the tables turn in Nigeria, you become a bouncer at the gate of “indigeneship.”

You’re not defending tradition. You’re defending tribal paranoia. And the only thing worse than a tribalist is a tribalist trying to disguise his insecurity as patriotism.
So stop pointing at other states like a guilty man trying to distract from his mess. Clean your house first before you start shouting about someone else's compound.

TemporaryHansel:
That's his usual escape route.

raumdeuter:
Why be say na only Lagos dey pain everyone when this is being done in everyone's village

In Edo your state, Ighodalo a man from Edo but unable to speak his native tongue became a problem, Hw much more if he was someone with roots from outside Edo

But na Lagos everyone carry for head. We know what you are doing

raumdeuter:
How come this agenda about going back to your village is only focused on Lagos? Hw many places in Nigeria outside lagos do non indigenes get to contest

How come na only Lagos dey pain you?

This is a man proudly saying that Ebonyi indigenes cannot contest in Lagos

Bianca Ojukwu was opposed in her bid to contest in Anambra state even though she was married to a prominent Anambra family

You never talk wetin dey pain you. Na so so Lagos Lagos Lagos

raumdeuter:
The left are mostly those who try to denigrate Americas culture and the right are those who uphold Americas culture.

Actually the criticism of the right is that they are too patriotic and flag huggers

raumdeuter:
They can be polarized on policies but the fabric of America I will never disrespect
Most of my comments in American politics are very respectful of my host and I always repeat how I am grateful to be given the privilege to be here. Its not my right. America has given to me more than my home land did

I will never support anyone who disrespect Americas military, disrespect their culture, burn American flag, chant "death to America" .

raumdeuter:
When I say dragging like telling them their land is no mans land. Denigrating their cultures of way of life, Or insisting they grant me rights I wont grant them at my place

For them to allow me stay in their country and give me what my own land wont give me, they have already overtried

GloriousGbola:
the truth of the matter is that these things are easy to tell

especially as when doing a transfer you will label the transaction as payment for a service.

will you pay for a phone by transfer without labelling the transaction?

years ago gtb actually tagged my account as a tier 3 business account because i was being paid for PP through it

we engaged a seller to buy pumps. the guy said you can pay me direct no vat - or pay through my business account with vat. we paid him direct - but we also labelled the transaction. because you also need that for your internal paper trail

the FG is closing the loophole

BlueRayDick:
That's just one out of the numerous disciplines in the arts that have professors living beyond the meagre salary being paid by the FG. I'm trying understand how the others in the various disciplines cope

BlueRayDiick:
Stop projecting okpa!

U are the one that wanted to spend the rest of Ur life in the west u love to hate before dem knack u visa denial and u now turn to what U have become.

raumdeuter:
You are using the words of the governor of Taraba state over the words from the govt Secretary of Anambra under Obiano

raumdeuter:
Ask his successor Willy Obiano who inherited the mess

As at March 2013 what was in the bank was 9bn, the current admin inherited liabilities of 185bn Naira
